Edward (Ted) John Joseph Sheehan III, Bsc, CGA, a longtime resident of London, Ontario, passed away on October 1, 2017 at the London Health Sciences Centre, Vic Campus, after a valiant fight against MM Cancer (age 60).
 
Ted was born February 20, 1957 in Hamilton, Ontario to Edward and Teresa (Connolly) Sheehan, II.  Ted grew up in the valley city of Dundas, Ontario.  His career spanned well over 30 years with most years serving as a Special Investigator for Canada Revenue Agency and auditor with The Law Society of Upper Canada.  In later years Ted was also a successful businessman, and ran his own company helping numerous people utilizing his unique specializations in finance and tax.  Ted loved the numerous years he coached AA Girls Hockey out of London and Blue Water, and Tier 1 Girls Fastball out of London and Waterloo.  Ted helped coach the PeeWee AA Devilettes to win the 2004 Provincial Girls Hockey Championship along with championing several Silver Sticks over the years. In his youth he also played top level sports as a Jr. B Goaltender for the Dundas Blues and Catcher, First & Third Bases were his plates on the ballfield.  Ted often held the distinction of games’ MVP in both hockey and baseball. He was a passionate golfer, lover of curling as well as a lifetime Habs and Yankee fan.  Above all, he was a generous and devoted husband, and exceptional father.
 
Ted was preceded in death by his parents, Ted and Terry Sheehan of Dundas and his parent-in-laws Gordon and Dora Wilson of Wiarton, ON who loved him as their own.
 
Ted is survived by his wife of 37 years, Shari Sheehan also from Dundas; daughters and son-in-laws, Deanna & Ben O’Donnoll of Eagan MN,  Heather & Randy Hollett, of  Moncton, NB and Jennifer & Charles Baldassarro of London ON.   The sparkle in Ted’s eye would shine bright for his daughters but nothing compared to the gleam he always had in his eyes for his grandchildren, Ainsley O’Donnoll, Jocelyn Hollett and Anthony Baldassarro. Favorite, cherished sister Ann bluejayleaf Evans and her husband Bryan of Burlington, ON. and their children and spouses Scott and Andrea Evans, great-nephews Liam, Owen and Calam Evans, Becky Evans and Chris Pope, and Jeffrey and Sarah Evans.
 
Special thanks to the 7th floor nursing teams at LHSC, Vic Campus and in particular Nurse Donna Bray from the Cancer Centre. Ms. Bray’s understanding, professional conduct and most of all her friendship aided Ted’s navigation through the ups and downs of this horrid disease.  You need to know Donna you meant the world to him.  Thank you Nurse Bray from our entire family.
 
A Wake has been held in celebration of his life.  In lieu of flowers please tune-up your car and check the air pressure in your tires – he would have wanted that, and don’t forget to donate to the Canadian Cancer Society or Myeloma Canada in Ted’s memory.  Researchers are on the threshold of a cure for Multiple Myeloma. Ted’s goal was to make it to then … so let’s please help to save future lives.  That would make him happy. 
 
Ted lived and eventually passed staying true to his favorite line from a Clint Eastwood movie he would often refer to …. In his memory don’t you ever forget …. “A man’s gotta know his limitations”.  RIP Teddy, my love for you will never end; Shari.

It was with deep sadness that I read of Ted’s passing. He was a true friend for many years at CRA and in volunteer efforts with PIPSC—the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada. I remember fondly Ted’s sense of humour, not to mention a number of Friday lunches at the former Ridout.


Please accept my sincere condolences on Ted’s passing, he will truly be missed!

Take care,

John Benbow

I've heard the sad news from a client of Ted, it was a very sad moment as Ted was one of the nicest people I've known as he was one of the auditors at The Law Society of Upper Canada who trained new auditors which I was one of them, he was very helpful, pleasant and a great personality. Please accept my condolences for Ted's passing.

I am so sad to hear the news of Ted’s passing. I worked with Ted for so many years at the Law Society and we had some fun times especially with our Montreal Canadians vs. Toronto Maple Leafs rivalry. Ted is one of the nicest people I have ever met and he will be missed dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends at this very difficult time. Rest in peace, Ted.
